al-Amir bi-Ahkami'l-Lah (31 December 1096-7 October 1130) was the caliph of the Fatimids from 1101 to 1130, succeeding al-Musta'li and preceding al-Hafiz.

Biography
al-Amir bi-Ahkami'l-Lah was born on 31 December 1096, the son of Caliph al-Mustali. He was controlled by regent al-Afdal Shahanshah, and he had little influence in political matters. al-Afdal's assassination in 1121 allowed for al-Amir to gain control of the government, but his rule was marred by the loss of Tyre to the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1124. On 7 October 1130, he was murdered as the Mustaali sect of Isma'ilism was massacred by the Nizari sect. His cousin al-Hafiz succeeded him as caliph.
